Click on the Tone Marks for Example Words and Comparisons

Note that on this sample, many of the example links are disabled (the two left-hand columns in the main tone example section work, as do the two left-hand columns in the tone comparisons section in the far upper-left). When you purchase a download of the Textbook and accompanying files, every black tone mark will include a link to examples, as will the headings for syllable endings.


The Textbook Multimedia lessons also includes a clickable consonant chart; see here for a sample.
